“It is important we don’t waste what we did at Leigh and we come out stronger this week,” Sheens told the Mail. “London at home is going to be a tough game. We will get our heads down and focus on playing again after enjoying that win.

“The Championship’s four teams in the Qualifiers are stronger this year and the scores are closer so far.

“We’ve still a long way to improve and we need to but this is a good step in the right direction and for us to beat a Super League side at this stage is important.”

Hull KR's Shaun Lunt goes for the try line

Sheens also explained his thought process behind keeping KR captain Shaun Lunt on the bench, before introducing the hooker after the opening quarter where he went on to play a huge part in the 20-16 win, scoring two tries.

“We kept Shaun out of the initial 15 minutes of the game so we didn’t have to replace him,” Sheens explained. “It worked really well because George Lawler is just a machine in terms of tackling and he worked hard in that first 15 minutes.

“When he came on Shaun injected his speed and smarts into the game and his voice, because he’s a very intelligent player around the ruck.”
